Description
Hornbeer is a farmhouse brewery founded in the beginning of 2008 by Gunhild and Jorgen Fogh Rasmussen. The first brewery was very small, brewing only 300 liter batches. But end of July 2008 the brewery burnt down to the ground. Now Gunhild and Jorgen had to start again from scratch. In January 2009 the new brewery started operations. Nowadays the production is around 2000 hl/year. Hornbeer is well known for a very different assortment. Hornbeer´s philosophy is that the beers should be distinctive but still very drinkable.

Tap@Tipsy Mermaid bar, Copenhagen. Slightly hazy orange body. Spare lacing. Tobacco, wet hay and hops, mirrored in taste, but also hints of orange peel, dry and a bit short. Not my favourite in the sun.

On tap at Lord Nelson, pours a clear copper golden with a small off-whire head. Aroma brings out bright grassy hops and biscuity malt. Flavour is crisp, with grassy hops, biscuity malt, and a touch of straw. Clean and drinkable, decently hopped. Decent.
